sticking to the windshield would require precipitation to be liquid and then freeze. If it falls as ice and stays as ice, it wouldn't. So, if it snows while the car is still above freezing, it will stick, and you'd need to prevent either the snow from melting (insulate it from the car's warmth) or apply the cloth

my problem with these videos is that they either oversimplify or interpret a statement in only one way. For example, I've always heard "no pain, no gain," and I've never interpreted it as actual "Ouch!" type pain. To me it's always meant to push beyond my comfort or easy zone. Another is the max HR. I've seen a few

I believe it is much better to simply state: "I do not owe this debt. Do not contact me again regarding this matter." You may need to send them a letter stating this. IIRC, by law, they can no longer contact you again. Also, tactics such as calling you at work, or calling your employer are illegal, and if they do this

No. Interest saved by paying off a loan early is NOT a taxable event.

If they do a halo—and I'm all in favor of it—I sort of expect them to do some sort of high(er)-end executive/sport car above the rest of the line, say, an MX-7. It would be RWD based on the Miata but larger (four-seater) with a 6 cylinder & 300+ hp. (They could update their existing Ford-based 3.7L V6 with direct

It looks like they are developing a turbo-4 for the next CX-9, and when it's ready, they will put it into a Speed3. Yes, it will be a new design and not a turbo bolted onto an existing SkyActiv engine. That should show up in c. 2017 and be part of the next refresh for the 3.

Don't believe it until you see it. Mazda execs have explicitly said two things:

There were a lot of winners there, including Chrysler, General Motors, Subaru, and now even Mazda.

Touch screens are an inferior option for car controls, and I am not convinced yet that gesture recognition is an improvement.

This doesn't seem to be likely to work.

I'm not familiar with them or what they do. Do you have any more details?

No, it predates that use and was an expression for many different measurements.

In Texas, particularly in Houston, $200k buys a large and quite nice home.

A larger down payment on a car is not about interest rates. It is about preventing gap, or owing more on the car than it is worth. Because cars rapidly depreciate in the first few years, having a large amount financed puts you at risk. A large down payment or an accelerated repayment schedule mitigates that risk.

There is an expression that goes "You can never earn more than you can spend." As evidenced by lottery winners, celebrities, athletes, and your doctor friends, income and debt are not necessarily related.

With tools, they also enable you to earn an income from them.

Good point. If you look at cost/benefit, spending a little more can yield large returns, but spending a lot more doesn't increase the returns much, if at all.

A similar point is to spend your 'fun' money on something you genuinely enjoy, not on something you don't really like but should go up in value. A prime example is buying a car based on resale rather than whether you really like it & whether it meets your needs.

I always figured it was to express the conflicts Shinji feels. Is he alone? He feels that way, and his father reinforces it. He finds 'friends,' but are they helping him or just manipulating him? Can he get better? He's told he can save the world but is then emotionally beaten into submission. Can the bad things that

Agreed. I learned nothing from the 'comparisons' to those jets, especially since there was no link between them ... ever. We know Lucas storyboarded the battles based on military fighter footage. I always found it interesting how the originals included mission briefings, ships being fueled/taxied, & support teams
